Answer:

The percent yield would be 73%

Explanation:

The balanced reaction for the obtention of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) is the following:

Salicylic acid + acetic anhydride → acetylsalicylic acid + acetic acid

C₇H₆O₃          +          C₄H₆O₃        →         C₉H₈O₄           +    C₂H₄O₂

According to the reaction, 1 mol of salicylic acid reacts with 1 mol of acetic anhydride to give 1 mol of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) and 1 mol of acetic acid.

1 mol aspirin (C₉H₈O₄) = (9 x 12 g/mol) + (8 x 1 g/mol) + (4 x 16 g/mol)

                                     = 180 g

1 mol salicylic acid (C₇H₆O₃) = (7 x 12 g/mol) + (6 x 1 g/mol) + (3 x 16 g/mol)

                                              = 138 g

1 mol acetic anhydride (C₄H₆O₃) = (4 x 12 g/mol) + (6 x 1 g/mol) + (3 x 16 g/mol)

                                                      = 102 g

The stoichiometric ratio is = 138 g salicylic acid/102 g acetic anhydride= 1.35

We have:

2.0 g salicylic acid

acetic anhydride = 5.0 mL x 1.08 g/mL = 5.4 g

The reactants ratio is = 2.0 g salicylic acid/5.4 g acetic anhydride = 0.37

0.37 < 1.35 , therefore <em>salicylic acid is the limiting reactant</em>.

Now, we use the amount of salicylic acid to calculate the theoretical amount of aspirin. For this, we know that 1 mol of aspirin (180 g) is obtained from 1 mol of salycilic acid (138 g):

theoretical yield= 180 g aspirin/138 g salycilic acid x 2.0 g salycilic acid = 2.61 g aspirin

actual yield = 1.9 g

Finally, we calculate the yield:

percent yield = actual yield/theoretical yield x 100

        = 1.9 g/2.6 g x 100 = 72.8% ≅ 73%

4) The initial rate of the reaction between substances P and Q was measured in a series of
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

The initial rate of the reaction between substances P and Q was measured in a series of

experiments and the following rate equation was deduced.

rate = k[P]^{2} [Q]

Complete the table of data below for the reaction between P and Q

Explanation:

Given rate of the reaction is:

rate= k[P]^{2} [Q]\\=>[Q]=\frac{rate}{k.[P]^{2} } \\and \\\\\\\ [P]=\sqrt{\frac{rate}{k.[Q]} }

Substitute the given values in this formulae to get the [P], [Q] and rate values.

From the first row,

the value of k can be calulated:

k=\frac{rate}{[P]^{2}[Q] } \\  =\frac{4.8*10^-3}{(0.2)^{2} 2. (0.30)} \\ =0.4

Second row:

2. Rate value:

rate =0.4* (0.10)^{2} * (0.10)\\\\        =4.0*10^-3mol.dm^-3.s^-1

3.Third row:

[Q]=\frac{rate}{k.[P]^{2} } \\     =9.6*10^-3 / (0.4 *(0.40)^{2} \\    =0.15mol.dm^{-3}

4. Fourth row:

[P]=\sqrt{\frac{rate}{k.[Q]} }\\=>[P]=\sqrt{\frac{19.2*10^-3}{0.60*0.4} } \\=>[P]=0.283mol.dm^{-3}

Sodium electron configuration in longhand notation
Elden [556K]

Answer:

Na₁₁ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s¹

Explanation:

Sodium is present in group 1.

It is alkali metal.

It has one valence electron.

The atomic number of sodium is 11.

Its atomic mass is 23 amu.

The longhand notation of electronic configuration of sodium can be written as,

Na₁₁ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s¹

The electronic configuration in shorthand notation( noble gas) would be written as,

Na₁₁ = [Ne] 3s¹

Sodium loses its one valence electron to complete the octet and get stable thus form +1 cation.

It react with halogen and form salt. Such as sodium chloride.

2Na + Cl₂  →  2NaCl

Which one of the following Acids is most likely to hurt you? Acid A: 1.0 M; Acid B: 0.0001M
vaieri [72.5K]
Acid A, assuming the two acids have the same pH. The M stands for molarity which is how concentrated a substance is (basically the higher the molarity the more concentrated the acid is). However, pH refers to how acidic a substance is. If the two acids have different levels of acidity, the answer may be different.
